Spring Cleaning Checklist

1. Start With Air Filter Changes

After several months of using your heating system, your air conditioning is about to get some heavy usage. As such, changing your air filters should be the first step in your spring cleaning process. Beyond the importance of having a functioning HVAC unit, new air filters will help reduce dust in the air that could trigger spring allergies. With clean, filtered air circulating throughout your home, you’ll be able to breathe easily despite any pollen that may be outdoors. 

2. Dust & Vacuum

Beyond the desire to inhale clean air while in your home, putting heating and cooling maintenance at the top of your list will make the rest of your chores easier. During the winter months, windows tend to stay closed, thus reducing air flow throughout your home. Now that warmer weather is here and windows are being opened, do a thorough dust and vacuum, and don’t forget to change the filter on your HVAC unit. This will not only clean your home, it’s also an opportunity to air out your home, furniture, and carpets.

3. Yard Work

Once your HVAC unit is running smoothly and the interior of your home is clean, move your focus outdoors. Landscape your yard to ensure the area surrounding your heating and cooling unit is free of debris that could hinder performance. In particular, be mindful of any climbing ivy or other plants that could work their way into your HVAC unit, causing damage. Also, before turning the unit on, double-check the inside for possible bird or insect nests.
